He deliberately conjoins these objects in a marginal union to provoke a balance between innocence and disturbing portent.
The artist has exhibited extensively both here and abroad. He represented South Africa on two occasions at the Venice Biennale most notably at the 46th Venice Biennale in 1995 with a solo installation.

His early conceptual artwork was featured in the landmark exhibition, Global Conceptualism: Points Of Origin 1950s-1980s. Queens Museum, New York, USA and the Walker Art Center (1998 –2000).
His work is represented in major international collections that include The Smithsonian Institution. USA, Yale University Art of the Book Collection. USA, The US Library of Congress.
